Actually I read and I wish I remember what mag. it was in but Mazda is going to spread the Rotary around in the near future. Perhaps even coming out with the RX-3 again. Ill try to find the issue. and yes it is from a reputable magazine.

an optional engine?...so they'd have them with piston and rotary engines...wouldn't they have to change the engine mounts and everything?

I hope they put the renesis in it, so that it atleast has a very good base amount of power.

someone with money (ie. not me) should get a renensis and a new miata and do the swap. make it look stock and run well and dependably, then sell mazda on the idea
